Information Mark R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to have the dog know me, and get used to me on their terms. I love German Shorthaired Pointers since I have had 3 but any breed is Ok and I am always fascinated by Rescue Dogs.

A typical day

I enjoy games of Fetch, lots of belly and ear rubs, maybe a trip to the dog park if you prefer and with permission, maybe a trip to the nature preserve South of Hudson, playtime with my German Shorthaired Pointer with permission, maybe spend time at coffee shop if you approve. Dogs on my lap allowed.

Pet care experience

I am retired, responsible, flexible and caring. Your Satisfaction and Your Pets’well being are my basic concerns. I have had 3 rescue dogs the past 30 years and understand how deep the bond can be. I am not looking for an every day every week type sitting but I will strive to make my Clients into permanent customers by providing exceptional care and service to exceed your expectations. I am retired with a home in Hudson Wi and will respect your pet, your home, and your surroundings and your neighbors surroundings. Since I am retired I have time to be flexible in scheduling and do additional tasks with your Pet. My goal would be that you, your family, and your Pet feel safe and secure while you are not there. I am available to meet with you at your home, my home, coffee, wherever, just to get to know you and your Pet before we proceed.

Mark did a fabulous job watching our dog. From the meet and greet to the final goodbye, Breck was in very good hands with Mark. I appreciated the great communication, and daily picture and video updates. Breck even had a playdate with Mark's pup. Mark not only took care of Breck, he also left our house in clean conditions. I highly recommend Mark for your pet sitting needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
